[ryliesmom]

Ok so i am on the pill. I just had a baby 20 weeks ago.. I had her by c section.. bled for 2 months. then about a week after i bled again for 2 weeks! in the hospital they gave me the depo shot.. then i went on the pill 2 months later.. then i changed to the seasonque pill i did that for a month and i bled the whole time so i quit and went back to the pill i was on b4. Now i get a period about every 2 weeks and then i stoped. a week after my period i had anal sex for the first time and was constipated when i tried to make a poop  i started bleeding again. i dont know if it was cuz i pushed so hard but anyways then i got my period for 2 weeks and i just ended 2days ago.. then i had intercourse this morning and now im spotting!! i am afraid to start my period again because im so dizzy and lightheaded some days i dont have the energy to even get out of bed. Im also on a strict diet of 1200 caloriez 20grams of fat and light cardio. I do take a pill that helps take away my hunger so i eat less. I gained 45lbs being pregnant. My dietision says the pill wouldnt effect my period. so Im kinda confused on whats going on and hope to god that someone on her can tell me Im scared. I want my life back,. I want to be able to have sex without getting my period. the last time i had sex i started in the middle of it.,. kinda embarressing. someone please help!

I had this happen to me when I was on the Mini pill after my son.  I bled every 2 weeks (2 periods a month).  I got off the pills when my son was 9 months old because I couldn't afford them and it was really messing me up.  After my son turned 14 months old, I conceived twins...I blame it on the messed up hormones that those pills gave me.  

I never bled with intercouse, but I did have 2 periods a month and my doctor had no answer for it.  

Good luck

Hello,
Bleeding after intercourse is called post coital bleeding and bleeding in between the periods is called intermenstrual bleeding. In your case, I don’t think that the birth control pills are responsible for this. The cause is something different.

Post coital bleeding can be due to cervical pathology (dysplasia), sexually transmitted infections (chlamydia or gonorrhea), vaginitis, endometritis, uterine polyps, fibroids or cervical polyps. It can also be due to pelvic inflammatory disease, lichen sclerosis or various malignancies of the uterus or cervix.Intermenstrual bleeding is due to genital infections, cervical polyps, uterine fibroids, miscarriage after a pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, fluctuation in hormone levels,IUD(intrauterine device)use, use of anticoagulant drugs and hypothyroidism.

Please get yourself evaluated by a gynecologist as pelvic examination and investigations are required to confirm a diagnosis. Wet preps of vaginal discharge, cervical cultures, Pap smear, perspeculum examination and colposcopy are required to confirm the diagnosis. Heavy bleeding can lead to anemia (the reason for your tiredness)and chances of hemorrhagic shock. So please consult soon.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted in case you have any additional doubts. Warm regards.
